How to Install underfloor heating carbon film mats
Under Wood & Laminate a Fitting Instructions for carbon film Underfloor Heating Systems.
Floor Preparation / Laying of Insulation
The concrete or wood sub floor should be stable, clean and suitable for the desired floor covering, prior to any underfloor heating being installed. Once the floor is prepared, start by rolling your insulation out over the sub floor making sure to cover the total floor area where the wood, laminate or vinyl floor covering is to be laid including unheated areas. A contact spray adhesive can be used or a double sided tape to hold the insulation in place if required but is not a necessity. The diagram to the left shows the soft insulation being installed with the floor sensor / probe fixed in place.
Floor Sensor Installation
Once you have decided on the mat layout within your room you will first need to install the floor sensor supplied with your thermostat. Cut a small channel into the insulation layer to allow the floor sensor / probe to be laid into. The channel should be located under a heated area, (heat mat to be laid over this channel in next stage).
Laying Underfloor Heating World (Living Heat) film mats
If you have requested a proposed mat layout from Living Heat you can simply hand this to the installer or follow the plan yourself. Make sure you unroll and identify each mat, Start at one side of the room rolling the mats out in a structured way making sure not to overlap any mats at any point. Each mat can be held in place by using a suitable adhesion tape such as gaffa tape along the ends and side of the mats.
Once the mats have been laid and fixed in place the connection tails should be run back to the thermostat / junction box location. The connection ends and cold tails can be pressed into the insulation by scoring the insulation and firmly pressing the tails / ends into the scored insulation. It is advisable to tape over the connection tails and cold ends to keep them held in place during the instillation of your wood / laminate floor. The diagram below shows the two ways mats can be connected beck to the thermostat. (Mats must always be connected in parallel never in series).
Floor Sensor Installation
Once the Living Heat mats have been laid and fixed in place the vapour barrier is ready to be laid over the top of all the under floor heating mats. The vapour barrier, (Supplied free with all heating mats), must fully cover all under floor heating mats, (it is not a necessity to cover the whole floor area only the actual heat mats themselves). If necessary the vapour barrier can be taped around the edges to hold it in place.
Living Heat heat film is designed for use directly under all wood and laminate floors, (vinyl must be good quality and not rubber backed). Please note it is advisable to regulate the floor temperature using the floor probe with the thermostat set to floor only. This is because all wood & laminate floors have different max permitable temperatures and thus the flooring supplier should be consulted first to confirm the max permitable floor temperature the heating can be set to. This tends to be approximately 28oc for most wood & laminate floors.
Important Please Note!
- A qualified electrician should be used to make the final connections to the mains power
- This heating is not suitable for wet areas such as bathrooms / wet rooms
